There is no better time to talk about grocery shopping and grocery shopping trends than around the holidays. Families across the United States will be gathering around dining tables piled high with everyone’s favorite dishes. Whether it’s green bean casserole, brown sugar basted ham, or cherry pie, there is always a favorite to remind one of good times and warm family cheer. Of course, what people often overlook is all the shopping and preparation that goes into preparing such a feast. For those time crunched families, which includes many, getting a little help from the local supermarket deli can be a wise strategic move. With the holiday rush and the increased reliance on prepared food from grocery stores, supermarket operators have to find new and more efficient ways to manage needs, crowds, and demand. JTECH’s ShopperPass™ is a logical solution to the growing demand – a demand that is only complicated by shoppers’ hurried lives.

While time is of the essence, especially during the busy holiday season, it is also a driving force for why people shop where they shop. Customers want to get in and get out in the least amount of time and with the least amount of hassle. ShopperPass enables customers to place an order at the deli counter, and be notified when their order is ready for pick-up. Gone are the days of the little red “take a number” dispensers. Today’s technological advances encourage more efficiency for shoppers and grocery operators. With ShopperPass, customers can work on satisfying the other items on their list while their deli order is being prepared. This results in a more pleasant shopping experience for customers, less chaos or crowdedness around the deli or meat counter, as well as greater sales resulting from browsing patrons. Further, ShopperPass is discreet, easy to install, easy to operate, and scalable in size.
